If the government is tell u where the money is going , then i would like to stop spending my hard earn tax money on fighting wars around the world. Second i can think of a lot i can do with the money that we spend on building jails instead of schools.I also would like a little of my tax money in my pocket, instead planeting flowers up and down the streets of down town chicago, Let try to collect some of that money from your part-time aldermans and womans, who is paid to much in the first place.

yeah i am so very sure that this would get people off of drugs and cut down on tax payer spending. not. it is just another way for politicians to divert attention from the real thieves. you know, the ones who give politicians all sorts of money to push through their agendas. hmmmmm.... actually i have to wonder if some drug testing company is not also behind this bill. i am also curious as to why this is not being demanded from the banks and automakers who accepted billions of dollars. also, why is this not being demanded of our governmental representatives? heck these people are the ones running this country into the ground, not people getting food stamps. i want THEM tested! weekly, at random. mr. blair is correct. nearly all jobs require drug testing. everyone on capital hill should be required too as well. as i said, this is just a distraction. nearly every drug is gone from the body in a matter of a day or two. all except marijuana. that one can be detected for a month or more. heroin 1-2 days.

110% with the drug test except for the unenmployed because they paid for it period.......

Brian and Mitzy Caldwell speak the truth, as many locals around here sell foodstamp cards every month, some for drugs, some to gamble, others for other reason, getting .50 cents on the dollar is the going rate now days.

This has been going on for a long time, & I know at least one Ohio city department who regularly buys foodstamps so it's not just drug dealers who are buying the stamps people.
